It's not the fact that it's an internal PmWiki variable name, it's
because HTMLStyleFmt is a WikiWord, and WikiWord processing
currently takes place before block processing. So, the strange
characters you're getting there are the result of having been
converted to a link.
You need to process the directive prior to wikiwords (I suggest
"directives", or else come up with a slightly different way of handling it.
Which brings up a larger point -- should we move wikiword and link
processing to even later in the sequence than it is now?
PmWiki 1 performed processing in the following sequence:
directives
links ([[...]], url, and wikiword)
block
inline markup
wikistyles
This sequence was largely dictated by the limitations of v1's data structures,
as well as the markup sequences themselves. However, with v2, we discovered
that we could usefully move inline markups to occur before link processing
(to allow inline markup in [[target | ''text'']]), so that the sequence is
now:
directives
inline markup
links ([[...]], url, and wikiword)
block
wikistyles
I'm wondering if we can now shift block markups to occur before link
processing, or perhaps just wikiword processing, resulting in:
directives
inline markup
block markup
links ([[...]], url, and wikiword)
wikistyles
or perhaps
directives
inline markup
links ([[...]])
block markup
links (bare url and wikiword)
wikistyles
This would eliminate a lot of the "aliasing" that arises when WikiWords
and urls just "happen" to occur in another markup sequence. And I
don't think much would break as a result.
Any thoughts from the various markup authors...?
